Question Intro/Dealership Buy Back???

Hello everyone

My name is Tony, im gues im kinda new here, im up in Norcal...20...Work for a plumbing business (Don't Ask).

Just wanted to Intro myself and...

Ok, i know about trade-ins and all but today i got this letter in the mail from the dealership where i got my balt that read..

"(Dealership) has been designated as a site to conduct a special test market pricing and financing event. Your status as a GM customer qualifies you for this sale.

We are in need of acquiring several 2006 Chevrolet Cobalts by April 27th in order to fulfill special vehicle requests. You have been identified as a possible owner of one of these vehicles and our managers have been authorized to buy back your current vehicle at 110% of Kelley Blue Book Value.

We will issue you a check immediately for your vehicle or equity. We will payoff any balance, liens or securitazation up to value."


So, since i know with standard trade-ins you usually dont get no deal like this..I didnt get y they r doin this?...has anyone else gotten anything like this?..and wtf?.."special vehicle requests?"...im wonderin if this has to do with that emissions crap or wut..either way i dont think id qualify cuz im modded and like my balt..

They just want you to buy a new car. Standard marketing procedure.

Wouldnt hurt to just take it in and see what they say
If you have the oem stuff you can always switch back and sell off you parts

lookup what your car is worth, then see how much they will really give you for the cobalt. if you like the numbers they give you then decide what you will be driving home.

I get those letters all the time. First they wanted to buy my 2001 Camaro SS, then they wanted to buy my 2003 Cavalier. All they want is to get you in the door so you will get that new car bug.
